The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) remains committed to the safety and well-being of all visitors and we are grateful to our partners in the travel industry for their efforts in assisting our visitor community during last week’s uncertainty related to Hurricane Dorian.

 The GMCVB's thoughts and prayers are with the people of the Bahamas following the destructive path of Hurricane Dorian.

As partners in the tourism industry, the GMCVB encourages visitors and residents in Greater Miami to donate to the Bahamas' relief efforts.
